ICC World Cup 2023: India (201/4) comfortably defeat Australia (199) by 6 wickets

[kingusama92]

In Chennai you can back yourself to defend literally any total. Batting is even harder in the 2nd dig.

You called it.

Australia is all over India right now

 

[7sins]

What are India doing!!??

First game pressure, WC game hits different, in front of crowds, not the easiest of pitch to bat on

 

[FearlessRoar]

Golden Duck for Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma lbw b Hazlewood 0 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

 

[topspin]

What's the need for ultra edge when you can see there's a clear gap between bat and pad?

 

[Ahmed216]

There's grip in the surface. Rohit one jagged back in

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Brother starc is a quality odi bowler. Sometimes when a bowler is on fire, not much a batsman can do

Kishan played a terrible shot though, rank poor shot to a nothing delivery. The one from Hazlewood to Rohit was an excellent delivery.

 

[DandyFellow]

Gill will be missed today. Do not think Kohli will have a great World Cup. I could be wrong but it feels like that.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

COME ON YOU ROOS!!

Get it!!!!llll


ALL ON KOHLI , HARDIKZ JADDU

 

[MP2011]

Loss in this game will bring us back to earth

 

[Ali Active]

Aus back in

 

[GLORY OF '92]

All on Kohli.

Openers seemed nervous

 

[Ahmed216]

Crazy batting from shreyas and kishan

 

[NeVerMind]

India 3 for 2 now!

 

[MP2011]

Iyer gone for duck

 

[shabbu1]

Gone! 3 down

 

[7sins]

Oh my God

 

[jattafridi]

Iyer gone

 

[MP2011]

Shows how overrated our batsmen are. Having been saying this since long

 

[RehanG]

3 gone

 

[Technics 1210]

What the heck?

Another gone!

2/3!

 

[Devadwal]

Carnge in Chennai

 

[7sins]

Chennai isn't like other venues this world cup. Expect many low scoring thrillers here.

I'm worried about our match against Afghanistan here

 

[Markhor]

Disgraceful shot.

 

[kingusama92]

Oh my god

This might be game over for India in a matter of overs.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Ooh KL redemption


MAKE THEM FISH!

 

[Swashbuckler]

In 2011 World Cup in Chennai, England defended 170 against a South African team which had Amla, Graeme Smith, Kallis, Villiers, du Plessis, Duminy. Broad 4/15, Anderson 2/16, Swann bowled very well. Just saying.

 

[topspin]

Get Kohli out soon and I reckon India will win this but I just have a feeling he's going to play a clutch knock to help his team win.

 

[RehanG]

only hope is if Kohli stays till the end. Else India 80 all out.

 

[Technics 1210]

 

[FearlessRoar]

Ishan Kishan 0(1)
Rohit Sharma 0(6)
Shreyas Iyer 0(2)

3 Golden Ducks for India

India - 2/3

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Shreyas iyer should be dumped out of the squad for that shot alone. What a terrible player. What a terrible temperament. Ishan and Iyer just threw their shots to the wind.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is a great pitch now eh?

 

[kingusama92]

Both Kishan and Iyer played ridiculous shots as if they were batting in Delhi.

 

[rhony]

Lol carnage in Chennai!! Starc's innings was soo valuable

 

[DandyFellow]

As it looks, India hopes are pointed towards Kohli now. Few years back, Kohli would have been enough but is he still in the groove for this world cup?

 

[apnapind]

still back india to chase it down they got ashwin at number 8 long batting.

 

[Devadwal]

Football scoreboard 2-3

 

[MP2011]

Ishan Kishan 0(1)
Rohit Sharma 0(6)
Shreyas Iyer 0(2)

3 Golden Ducks for India

India - 2/3

These are not golden ducks. Golden duck is scored when you get out off the first ball you face

 

[Technics 1210]

Strike Rotation!

Play the field, not the boundary!

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need another 2wickets of vk and kr and the match is Australia's

 

[Rajdeep]

The hell man...2nd innings started and India lost 3 wickets already?

 

[DandyFellow]

As it looks, India's hopes are pointed towards Kohli now. Few years back, Kohli would have been enough but is he still in the groove for this world cup? This match is going to he

 

[FollowThru]

We always romanticize the past. In games like chess it is very easy to break myths because of engine evaluations, like how Magnus Carlsen is doing right now. In cricket, opinions and arguments are more qualitative than quantitative, but in my opinion Smith is as good a batsman against spin as any of the 80s or 90s titans. He has his weird funky methods but what he did in the 2017 tour to India should rank as one of the greatest batting performances against spin on challenging surfaces.

As a PCT fan I would take PCT as Mikhail Tal, impossible to evaluate by any engine.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Terrible batting tbf by India. Only Rohit got a ripper

 

[mominsaigol]

U'll learn ur lessons. Stay here

I'm from Australia, I'm hoping aus win lol, I just got mad at their pathetic performance . But nvm, their bowling

 

[Devadwal]

Ishan kishan is a heck how many Times I have said that. 120 all out incoming

 

[7sins]

still back india to chase it down they got ashwin at number 8 long batting.

One could easily they are one batsmen short here. Plus Australia haven't bowled spin yet

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Chennai isn't like other venues this world cup. Expect many low scoring thrillers here.

BD is licking their fingers against NZ in Chennai

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Keep that fourth stump line.

MAUKAAA

First 4 rounds

10-8, 10-8, 10-8, 10-8

 

[7sins]

Kohli and Rahul wicket will be key here

 

[Devadwal]

What is Virat doing? Why he is chasing that outside of swinging delivery

 

[MP2011]

These Iyers, Skys and Kishans won't win you WCs. Rohit and Kohli, even in their pomp couldn't win it what hope do we have now?

 

[Ali Active]

Only pandya left after this pair. its upto kohli now he gets out match is done and dusted spinners haven’t even bowled yet.

 

[160KPH]

Indian batsmen are flat track bullies.. I tried of tell you

 

[Asad T]

Two of the most technically correct batsmen in the middle for India, but even so, the quality of the aussie bowlers will test them

Bro, we are watching present … in one of those rare occasions ….

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Already a greater World Cup than the previous one at the same stage.

Proper ebb and flow of ODI cricket with diverse pitches .

 

[SpiritOf1903]

What is Virat doing? Why he is chasing that outside of swinging delivery

Machi?

 

[Swashbuckler]

PCT is unpredictable. But don't agree about engine evaluation of Tal's games, many of his sacrifices have been found to be dubious by modern engines, of course in his era he could confuse his opponents with such wild play. Carlsen once said that among former world champions, Tal would be the easiest for him to beat.

 

[Devadwal]

Should have send ash ahead of Rahul .I have more trust on Ashwin technique than Rahul and Kishan or Iyer

It's an incoming trajectory from what, 3m??

3-5, 3.4 OVS!! :


4-5 pls. Bowl him

 

[160KPH]

@Mp812 hope my “aspiring astrology career” is looking a bit better to you now.

 

[Rajdeep]

This game will have same effect on Indian team as 226 runs defeat had on PCT.

If we fail to chase 200 that is..

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli wicket is coming . playing every delivery like tailenders

 

[Asad T]

Hazelwood has gotten virat out 4 in the last 7 times
Will be an interesting matchup

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Come on Josh, get another one

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Virat should have gone till now

 

[Thanos]

Kohli needs to leave ball off side.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This game will have same effect on Indian team as 226 runs defeat had on PCT.

Pakistan skittles you out on conducive pitches 9 times out of 10.

Massive rebuild here? Cummins time now

 

[Devadwal]

India start with three duck this must be a world record

 

[Rajdeep]

Shot...KL

Pure KLassss...

 

[7sins]

Rahul always does well on these type of pitches his wicket is more crucial than kohli

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan skittles you out on conducive pitches 9 times out of 10

Bus kar pta h hame Pakistan ka ache se

 

[kron]

Remember this is hazlewoods home ha.

Csk

India's fault really

 

[Ali Active]

India has already been Humbled right now thats good for them ỉn beginning of the tournament.

 

[MMHS]

I still think, India will edge past here, because Indian late middle order is good and Aussies are missing 2nd spinner. This is a wicket I think will suit more finger spinners than wrist spinners- Aussies don’t have any. Looking at the wickets, it might not be s bad idea for Aussies to call back Lyon as Agee’s replacement

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Kohli needs to leave ball off side.

 

[Kriketer]

I'm worried about our match against Afghanistan here

That should never be a worry. Afghanistan will never risk winning against India, the passion and sheer efforts they put against Pakistan goes all missing against India

 

[Thanos]

Aussies recovering from 140/7 to 199 is going to win match for them.
Damn India's last 4 are good for nothing when it comes to batting.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Those 3 early wickets make this a very interesting game now
